What if your MSc could give you a head start on the future of work?

At UCD Innovation Academy, students on the MSc in Design Thinking for Sustainability don’t just study theory — they work on real projects with organisations like Dublin City Council to tackle real public sector challenges.

You’ll build future-ready skills in innovation, sustainability, problem-solving, collaboration, and design thinking — the skills employers and government organisations are actively looking for.

While others are still learning in lectures, you’ll graduate with hands-on experience working alongside industry and public sector leaders.

If you want to create meaningful impact and get ahead in a rapidly changing world, this is where it starts.

We're already missing last week's sunshine! ☀️

Summer is the perfect time to visit Greenacre and that's exactly what our visitors from Jefferson College did.

While admiring the community garden and Hobbit house, they also learned about the sustainability efforts in our space, including the mushroom farm.

If your unit or society would like to visit Greenacre this summer, just send us a message or email us at [email protected]
